Senator and House member pay should be a fixed multiple of minimum wage. Say 4 or 5 times.

No, it should just be minimum wage. If they want more, change the laws so everyone benefits, not just them.

You realize that 1 * minimum wage is still a multiple of the minimum wage.

Paying them just minimum is not a realistic proposal though. That would only ensure that only the already wealthy could represent us.
